Vendor Space

Vendor Space is the all-in-one vendor management platform designed specifically for event organizers who are tired of the chaos. If you're currently juggling endless spreadsheets, drowning in email threads, and manually tracking payments and contracts, Vendor Space is your new command center. Built by an event organizer for event organizers, it consolidates every step of the vendor lifecycle into a single, intuitive dashboard. From the initial application and custom form creation to booth mapping, digital contracts, and payment processing, you can manage it all without ever switching between different tools. It even brings sponsor management into the same system, so your paid partnerships are seamlessly integrated with your vendor operations. The platform operates on a refreshingly simple and transparent pricing model: it's completely free to use, with only a flat 6% transaction fee applied when you process payments. There are no monthly subscriptions, no hidden setup costs, and no contracts. Vendor Space empowers you to professionalize your events, save countless hours of administrative work, and provide a smoother experience for both you and your vendors, all from one powerful hub.

Comprehensive Vendor & Sponsor Management

Vendor Space replaces scattered spreadsheets and separate systems by housing all your vendors and sponsors in one unified dashboard. You can review applications, track statuses (like Confirmed, Pending, or Waitlist), and manage all communication and details for every participant. Sponsor management is built directly into the platform, allowing you to create tiered sponsorship packages, track deliverables, and manage those important relationships alongside your regular vendor data, eliminating the need for a separate tracking system.

Interactive Visual Booth Mapping

Say goodbye to confusing grid charts. Vendor Space provides interactive, visual floor plans where you can drag and drop vendors into specific booth spaces. The map shows real-time availability with clear color-coding for taken, reserved, premium, and available spots. This feature automatically helps prevent double-bookings and gives you and your vendors a crystal-clear picture of the event layout, making assignment and planning a visual and simple process.

Integrated Payments & Digital Contracts

Streamline your financial and legal workflows completely. The platform integrates with Stripe (and soon Square) to collect payments securely and directly from vendors through a self-serve portal. You get real-time tracking of all revenue. Simultaneously, you can send, sign, and track legally-binding digital contracts and agreements with built-in e-signature capabilities, keeping all documentation organized and easily accessible in one place.

Self-Serve Vendor Portal & Analytics

Vendor Space provides a dedicated, professional portal for your vendors. They can discover your event, submit applications, upload documents, make payments, and manage their own details without back-and-forth emails. For you, the analytics dashboard offers real-time insights into key metrics like total revenue, booth fill rates, vendor participation stats, and sponsor progress, giving you the data you need to measure success and make informed decisions.

Seasonal Markets and Craft Fairs

Organizers of recurring artisan markets, craft fairs, or holiday bazaars can use Vendor Space to manage hundreds of applications efficiently. The custom forms collect specific product details, the visual booth map simplifies layout planning for each event date, and the integrated payments and contracts handle the financial and legal logistics seamlessly, turning a complex operation into a repeatable, streamlined process.

Food Festivals and Community Events

For events featuring food trucks, beverage vendors, and local businesses, Vendor Space is ideal for handling diverse vendor needs. Organizers can create categories, manage health certificate submissions through the portal, assign spaces based on power or size requirements using the map, and collect fees all in one system. The sponsor management module is perfect for securing and managing partnerships with local breweries or brands.

Conferences and Trade Shows

Conference organizers can leverage Vendor Space to manage both exhibitors and sponsors professionally. The platform handles custom booth pricing for different package tiers, manages contract signing for large sponsors, and provides a clean portal for exhibitors to register and access event information. The analytics help track exhibition hall sales and sponsor fulfillment leading up to the event.

Fundraising Galas and Non-Profit Events

Non-profits running galas, auctions, or charity fairs benefit from the cost-effective, pay-as-you-go model. They can use Vendor Space to manage vendor tables for auction item donors, create sponsorship tiers for corporate partners, and track all contributions through the integrated payment system. The reduced administrative overhead means more time and resources can be focused on the mission itself.

How quickly can I set up my first event?

Most organizers can have their first event live and ready to accept vendors within 15 minutes. The process is straightforward: create your event, configure your booth options and pricing, and instantly share your unique vendor registration page. There is no technical setup or coding required, allowing you to move from sign-up to launch almost immediately.

Can vendors apply and pay directly through Vendor Space?

Absolutely! Vendors can discover your event through a public event page you share. They can then submit a complete application with all the information and documents you require and proceed to secure payment—all in a single, seamless flow. You maintain full control by reviewing and approving applications directly from your organizer dashboard before any booth space is officially confirmed.

What payment processors are supported?

Vendor Space currently integrates directly with Stripe for secure, reliable payment processing, allowing you to accept credit card payments seamlessly. Square integration is listed as coming soon, which will provide additional flexibility for organizers who prefer that payment gateway.

Is there a free trial or any monthly fee?

Vendor Space is completely free to use. There are no monthly subscriptions, no setup costs, and no contracts. The platform operates on a simple, performance-based pricing model: you only pay a flat 6% transaction fee when you successfully collect a payment from a vendor or sponsor. This means you can manage unlimited events and vendors without any upfront investment.

Vendor Space offers a uniquely simple and transparent pricing structure designed with event organizers' budgets in mind. There is no subscription fee, no monthly cost, and no contract to sign. The platform is free to use for all its features. The only charge is a flat 6% transaction fee that is applied only when you successfully process a payment through the system (e.g., when a vendor pays for their booth or a sponsor pays for their package). This includes access to unlimited events, full vendor and sponsor management, custom forms, the vendor portal, payment collection, analytics, and more. You can start for free with no credit card required.
